SOUTH ST. LOUIS (KMOV.com) -

Surveillance cameras were rolling when a man was beaten and robbed outside his home in the Fox Park neighborhood of south St. Louis.

Mark Zschiegner said he had just gotten home Saturday night with his fiancé when an SUV rolled up near him on Nebraska Ave.

“Two guys jumped out with guns,” he said. “I’m like ‘okay, it looks like I’m getting robbed.”

Zschiegner added that the suspects, all young men, started yelling, threatening and beating him.

Similar crimes have been happening not only in Fox Park but in other neighborhoods such as Soulard. Multiple South City neighborhoods are now working together both in-person and on social media, to send community alerts as part of an effort to curb crime.
